Professional Policing (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

This accredited programme will give you the knowledge and professional skills you need for a career in the police service.

At our Professional Policing (Hons) programme at University of Hull we have an excellent reputation in this field and strong links with local, regional and national criminal justice agencies. Which gives you invaluable experiences including stimulating evidence-based policing project opportunities, as well as field trips to courts, police stations and prisons.

Explore criminal activity and gain hands-on experience of collecting evidence in our replica crime scene facility. You’ll see the world of forensic science brought to life, with detailed and realistic crime scenes for you to investigate.

You’ll get a taste of life as a police officer alongside your degree with the opportunity to train as a Special Constable or Police Service Volunteer. Your employability will be enhanced as you will complete your degree in line with Humberside Police's Special Constable programme. And you’ll have the chance to network with significant regional and national employers at our yearly Careers in Criminal Justice Fair.

Future prospects

• Our strong partnership with Humberside Police means you'll develop the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience to enhance your chances of employment after graduation.

• You could go on to become a police officer, a community support officer, a control room operator, a police analyst, or a police service volunteer.

• Although the qualification is recognised by the police service, successful completion of the degree does not guarantee recruitment as a police constable. Prospective students are advised to check the eligibility criteria for recruitment as a Police Constable and as a member of the Special Constabulary.
